10 Blockbusters From 2016 That Should Win Oscars (But Won't)

6. Alice Through The Looking Glass (Best Costume Design)

Kubo And The Two Strings Oscar
Disney

Why It Should Win: This category heavily favours period movies and flamboyant productions, so Alice Through the Looking Glass should basically be a shoo-in, what with its extravagant, wildly over-the-top costumes. Not only is the quality of the costume work superb itself, but the sheer number of costumes (due to the ridiculous roster of characters in the movie) makes it a sure heavyweight in this category.

Why It Won't: For one, most people hated the movie, it was a colossal box office disappointment and the fallout from the Johnny Depp domestic violence controversy probably won't help it any.

As such, the Academy will probably opt for another robust costumed affair such as Love and Friendship or Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
